Sri Lanka and World Bank Sign Agreement for Growth and Jobs

IMF Executive Board Completes Third Review of the Extended Arrangement Under the EFF with Sri Lanka
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The FINANCIAL — The Government of Sri Lanka and the World Bank on August 5 signed a US$100 million credit from the International Development Association (IDA) to support the Government of Sri Lanka’s economic reform program.

Sri Lanka has been making steady progress on economic reforms, with the government aiming to create one million new jobs through a reform package focused on improving the country’s competitiveness, transparency and macroeconomic stability. A recent World Bank study, the Systematic Country Diagnostic, highlighted the need for Sri Lanka to move from a largely inward looking and public sector driven economy to one that is capable of unleashing the potential of the private sector – leading to post-conflict economic growth and creating more and better jobs for Sri Lankans, according to the World Bank.

The Sri Lanka Competitiveness, Transparency and Fiscal Sustainability Development Policy Financing (DPF), which is only the second DPF to Sri Lanka in a decade, aims to support the government’s reform agenda by reducing obstacles to private sector competitiveness, establishing transparent and well managed public institutions and improving fiscal sustainability.

“It is the aspiration of all Sri Lankans to move up the income ladder. To make this a reality the government is faced with the challenge of balancing the implementation of critical reforms aimed at sustaining growth while creating jobs” said Idah Pswarayi-Riddihough, World Bank Country Director for Sri Lanka and the Maldives. “Improving fiscal sustainability while creating the fiscal space for improved service delivery, social spending and capital investment are all priorities to make Sri Lanka more competitive. Ensuring success from reforms is not a one-time activity and the government will continue to use a number of instruments to make sure that outcomes achieved are sustained” Pswarayi-Riddihough further emphasized.

“Improving a country’s competitiveness and creating more and better jobs require a number of factors to be in place, from stable macroeconomic environment and good governance to predictable policies, adequate access to finance, and an efficient regulatory environment that minimizes the cost of doing business”, said Emanuel Salinas Munoz, Program Leader for Growth and Competitiveness of the World Bank. “This program will support the Sri Lankan Government’s commitment to unleash the potential of Sri Lankan enterprises to grow, become more competitive and better integrate with the global economy”.

The Ministry of National Policies and Economic Affairs will be responsible for the overall implementation and coordination of the proposed operation. Other agencies involved include the Ministry of Development Strategies and International Trade, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Parliamentary Reforms and Mass Media, the Auditor General’s Department, the Board of Investment and the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.

DPF operations provide untied financial support directly to the treasury to distribute through their regular budgeting mechanisms upon completion of a package of policy and institutional reforms. The World Bank Group provides technical assistance to the Government in support of its reform efforts under this program at no cost to the Government.
